I'm Andy Warren, currently a SQL Server trainer with End to End Training. Over the past few years I've been a developer, DBA, and IT Director. I was one of the original founders of SQLServerCentral.com and helped grow that community from zero to about 300k members before deciding to move on to other ventures.

Thanks for the reminder. I just submitted two sessions.

Sorry I won't make it. I was hoping to get back to Orlando, but it's book-ended by KC, Utah, and another potential family issue, so I'll have to skip.
